The Vegas Golden Knights have successfully traded for Mitch Marner from the Toronto Maple Leafs, securing an eight-year contract extension for the All-Star winger. Marner chose to stay with Vegas for $12 million per season instead of testing free agency. The deal involved sending center Nicolas Roy to the Maple Leafs in exchange.
The Vegas Golden Knights have reached an agreement with the Toronto Maple Leafs to acquire Mitch Marner in a sign-and-trade deal. Marner has signed an eight-year contract extension with the Golden Knights for $12 million per season. Vegas traded center Nicolas Roy to the Maple Leafs to secure the All-Star winger and sign him to a maximum-length contract. Marner, now under contract with Vegas until his 36th birthday, was pursued by the Golden Knights in previous failed attempts and discussions with other teams. He is known for excelling in various aspects of the game and is coming off a career-best season with 102 points. Marner leaves the Leafs as one of their top scorers and a fan favorite but faced criticism for the team's playoff performance. His departure signals a shift in the Leafs' roster strategy as they aim to recoup assets in exchange for Marner.
